The room was VERY clean, and it was cleaned thoroughly each day. The location is near a subway station, providing quick access to attractions. Breakfast was nice with adequate options. I generally appreciated my stay there.
The radiator in my room was loud. It made it difficult to sleep well during the night. It really interrupted my rest.

The rooftop terrace is accessible, offering views. A gym is available, though it's more like a storage room with two home trainers. Coffee and tea are available for free throughout the day.
